@@JeffAntoniukEducator Thank you for responding! Working on this daily, searching for some rhythmic variation. The triad pair is an astonishing “simple” way to get a modern colorful sound away from the regular chord/scale construction I’ve been confined to. Mind blowing, really. Glad I found out about it. Wish it was much sooner! After experimenting with your idea, I switched to using Emin/Dmaj triads over Cmaj, to capture the 7 th and avoid the root. I guess they call that the hexatonic. I’ll be moving to video #2 shortly! Thanks again, and aloha!

Joe did not chop 4 bars from the end. that's how Jobim composed this tune originally. look at his manuscripts and published versions from the 1960's that follow this same format. it's later that people started repeating the vamp at the end and it's got registered like that in the Real Books.
@JeffAntoniukEducatorАй бұрын
Interesting. That said, it's not a vamp at the end, it's a different set of chord changes (8 from the end and 4 from the end). They begin the song with "the last four of the song", so there is still something else at play. As you say, going back to AC's original manuscript is the way to go. Thanks for this!

As a bassist I like when tunes require you to do one thing only. It really forces you to lock in to holding the group together. I like to think that I do that when I walk too but when you aren't busy choosing notes or rhythms the only thing left is groove- and usually I feel like I am more connected to it in tunes likes this.
